Guys, my name is note and I usually talk with much bigger words than this, but Im tired today.
I wanted to know what you guys thought about a possible play about an 18 year old struggling Starbucks worker that lives and dies for poetry, cuddling, red wine, and gay.....who gets frustrated about his hobbies and image and tries to join a rap forum to become "cool".
At the forum, he cannot shake his knack for literary splendor and writing ability and he is soon exposed as a roflzing stock on the board.
From here he contemplates suicide, board retirement, and heterosexuality.
This is a tale of retaliation against society, intestinal fortitude, gay, and self-realization.
Just wanted to get a feel for what some of you guys thought about this idea.......and im not the guy in question here so dont worry about that or anything.

you plebian entity
ive not only memorized Rent from start to finish, but also starred in the James Lotterberg version and won the Queery from the academy for my performance in 2003.
It's not Rent, nor does it even resemble it.

It seems you put in a few interesting twists McNote & obviously it would be a Musical.
It would have some youth appeal as such & get bums on seats or as groundlings in the mosh pit at least. Or is that another musical idiom? Not that I understand what ‘hip hop’ is? Go for it, as it obviously something you understand & feel strong about. What you could include is a musical futuristic number, about geriatrics with Zimmer frames, tap dancing in a chorus line, while awaiting hip replacements! [Although that’s be done to death lately]  |

 You asked what people thought of the idea, note. It's not very nice to get mad when they tell you.

What is the James Lotterberg version? I couldn't find any info on the net about it. Is it like "Phantom of the Opera", where there are a couple of different versions?
